    So stupid. I just want a clean ass set of 16 or 17x10" -10 offset wheels.... I don't wanna pay $4K for wheels. My car didn't even cost me that much.

          Just put some conditioning/cleaner on the BMW's rear seats because they were really faded, to an almost light grey color. They look great, minus the faded leather color, hardly any cracks. But I put some conditioning/cleaner on the seats (really lathered the seats in them) and they are looking great! They are really soft again too! :)

                      Decided our 60lb street sign I "made" would make an awesome skid plate (gunna double it up on it's self)

                        :(  That skid plate will be sweet though! Especially from low camera angles

                                Can't find out how to put youtube videos up. But that's the teaser.

                                    Welded the ring gear to the pinion gear eh?  :P 

                                    I demand drifting videos by the end of the week (rage or iaintevenmadthough, either kind is permissible)

                                        in my experiences before the 5spd swap, you either need to keep it in "1" and do a low-speed throttle oversteer type drift, or keep it in "2" with  enough speed to where you can hit full throttle without kicking down to 1st gear when you need to apply throttle. 

                                        The trans upshifting when you lift off the throttle when in drive can really screw things up.

                                          I actually just filled the whole diff with a weld. That's how you do it, right?
